Chapter 16

NATHANIEL

I am completely taken with the girl behind the counter, I don’t even know why.

“She needs to learn how to respect her leaders” Alyssa snarls and places her hand on my upper thigh, which is too close to my cock.

The sexy counter girl looks up at her next customer, but I catch her taking a quick look over towards us, mainly at me. I smirk but she looks pissed.

“What shall we have then?” Says Eric

Dane freezes by the side of me, a growl slips past his lips. It was quiet but only the table heard him. We all look at him but he is staring at someone but I couldn’t see who.

The girls look at him but soon don’t care; they go back to looking at the menus.

“Hey dude, you ok?” I asked him through a mind link but I soon realized that there is a girl heading towards us and his eyes are glued to her.

I shake him and try to get him to snap out of it but he just stares at her “Huh, yeah man. I am ok. I will tell you once I know myself” he says. He is completely staring at the waitress.

“Hi My name is Emily and I will be your server. What can I get you?” She asks.

“Well someone with some good customer service skills, we all would like sodas and cheese burgers with fries” Alyssa says.

I let a little snarl out at her but she ignores me.

I look towards the counter and stare at the girl once again.

“No problem, but what do you mean about good customer service skills” she asks looking puzzled.

“Oh that little bitch over there was unfriendly to our future Alpha” she says, pointing towards the girl at the counter who is now looking over at us and glaring.

My god she looks damn sexy when she is angry, I think to myself.

Wait. Where the hell did that come from?

“Oh, my sister. She is normally friendly but she has been having a few rough days of late” she says. I turn to look at Emily. Emily looks over at their girl who we now know is her sister and sighs.

Emily was about to leave. “Are there any other humans here besides you and your sister?” I ask her.

She looks at me a little surprised which confuses me but recovers herself really quickly “There are humans here. Many are mated to a few shifters. We have many different kinds of super naturals here.”

“What kind of other shifters are here? If you don’t mind me asking” asks Eric quietly.

The whole room has gone tense, Emily looks around, and I know all eyes on us. It is making her feel uncomfortable but she says “I can’t tell you that. You will have to ask the people around here. It is rude to ask people personal questions ” she says, sounding off.

“I apologize for my friend's rude remark, we are just curious. We are not here to harm or hurt any of you in anyway” I tell her, giving her a smile. I look over to the counter and the girl is looking at us, she is staring.

Emily looks back over and smiles at her sister and turns back to me “Thank you for the apology. I will give you some advice though. All people here, including us humans, have really bad experiences with wolves, rogues and some packs too. Please be careful when you approach people as they may react in a different way that might take offence” she says.

“I best get your order in to cook, feel free to call me if you need anything.” she says as she turns to head over to the counter to her sister.

“Everyone seems to have a problem with wolves, wonder what happened to most of the people” says Josie. She is looking at the sisters like I am. I know Josie is searching for something as she looks between them.

Alyssa looking at me and realizing where I am staring at. I can feel the jealousy coming off her “Baby can I help you in anyway” she says to me.

I look down at her and snarl, I lean in close to her ear “Do not touch me, I told you not to cause drama here especially as we don’t know the issues people here have had.”

Before I could lift my head to turn away, Alyssa places her hand on my cheek, pulls me in towards her and kisses me. Her tongue slips in my mouth and moves. I am caught off guard by the action that it takes me a few seconds to realize what I was doing.

I move back and glare at her but my first instinct was to look at the girl behind the counter, only to find Emily glaring at me and the girl gone. I look around the café thinking she might be serving someone but she is nowhere to be seen.

Alyssa sitting next to me smirking, thinking she has won. I grab her hand from my thigh and knock it away.

“Get the fuck off me, don’t touch me again” I snarl towards her.

“Dude calm down, people are looking at us” says Eric.

I look around to see people looking at us, some held blank faces but the energy around them told the story of what they were really feeling.

“You fucked up” says Ox, in my head and blocks me.

What the hell is he talking about?

I look to my left and see Dane glaring at me. “What the fuck was that? I thought you told her that you weren't interested.” he growls through a separate mind link at me which takes me by surprise.

“What the hell, I told her but she came to my room this morning. I couldn’t help myself. Anyway, what is your problem? You haven’t stopped looking at that Emily chick since we came in here” I asked him.

“For your information, I think she is my mate. Bo is going nuts but he can’t figure out if she is or not. What about you with the counter girl, you haven’t stopped staring at her either” he says with a smirk.

“I don’t know, Ox was calm at first but now he is pissed at me and on edge, never like this and the girl is damn hot” I can’t help myself.

I look over to Alyssa as she is in deep conversation with Josie but as soon as she locks eyes on me, she smiles “I am sorry Nate; I was out of line earlier. I am going use the restroom” she says as she gets up to leave.

What the hell, she never apologizes.

Emily comes over about fifteen minutes later with all the sodas and burgers we ordered. Dane is so tense that he freezes when he touches her hand by mistake but it was a shock to Emily who looks at Dane too.

“You ok there lover boy” I say to him mind link. He looks at her and then looks at me “She’s my mate dude, the spark is there” he says with a smile.

I am so happy for my best friend. “CONGRATS MATE, you will have to be careful. We can't take her to the pack not on the first day of being here” I say knowing how possessive behavior males are over their mate, I have seen it countless times where many of the males would fight with another male because he even looked at his mate.

“I know Bo and I are going to come again when we don’t have a crowd” he says.

I totally agree. I might even come back just to see counter girl again.
